A personal experience highlights significant security vulnerabilities in a custom-built patient management application created using AI tools. The application exposed sensitive patient data and violated data protection laws, raising alarms about the risks of unregulated AI software development in healthcare.

A medical appointment led to the creation of a custom patient management system using AI coding tools.
The application allowed full read and write access to patient data, which was unencrypted and exposed online.
The developer was unaware of the security risks, including the lack of data processing agreements and potential violations of data protection laws.
The application consisted of a single HTML file with all code inline, and the backend had no access control configured.
Audio recordings from patient appointments were sent to external AI services for transcription without patient consent.
The incident raises concerns about the implications of AI in healthcare, particularly when users lack technical expertise.
